That's Entertainment!

This morning I got a nice quiet hour to fold the laundry.  As I was putting it away I found out why: Rachel had amused herself by dumping a bowl of oatmeal on Simon's floor to drive race cars through.   Now a different child might not find anything amusing about oatmeal and cars.  They might say it was "boring:"   But not Rachel.  She spent that hour having a great time.  Was it a mess?  Well, yes, but I was glad to have a kid who was willing to entertain herself.  Now I'll just have to work on providing appropriate substances:)
